I had this big long thing typed up and it got accidentally deleted, so now I'm just gonna try and give the basics!! lol. My ENTIRE family, including my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, my mom and dad, and of course my family, ALL were able to take our FIRST family vacation together for a week. We spent 3 days in the Disneyland parks, and had an absolute blast. The rest of our vacation we were able to spend at my Oma & Opa's house (paternal grandparents), and ALL be under one roof and enjoy 4 generations together. My cousin Taylor was even able to spend a couple days in Disneyland with us. Kevin's brothers Kelly and Keith & their families were also in Disneyland a couple of the days with us, so we were able to meet up with them as well and do some rides together. The weather was great, and our time together was priceless. Both Elijah and Tyler LOVED the characters, which is always a big "if" factor, and weren't scared to approach them. They hugged, high-fived, and EVEN KISSED them!! (Tyler smooched Cinderella, it was so precious!). It was so special to see Brayden, and enjoy this fun stage, he's such a happy baby and so sweet & easy going. I am also happy to report that God answered prayer, and my mom's foot did EXCELLENT during the TWO days she spent in Disneyland. I SOOO wanted her to be able to enjoy herself with as little pain as possible, and get to come more than one day.. and she did, praise the Lord!! :)
